Abstract

La présente invention porte d'une manière générale sur des systèmes de disponibilité de stationnement et des procédés de stationnement, et plus précisément sur un système de stationnement qui gère des places de stationnement individuelles en temps réel. En particulier, la présente invention donne de la souplesse à un propriétaire d'actifs de stationnement pour régler les prix de stationnement pour des places de stationnement individuelles dans un parc de stationnement en temps réel en fonction de conditions de marché dynamiques telles que la demande, la commodité et l'emplacement. Le but de l'invention est d'offrir à des consommateurs de stationnement un choix de niveaux de prix de stationnement pour encourager le renouvellement et maximiser le flux de rentrées pour le propriétaire d'actifs de stationnement. D'autres avantages de la présente invention pour le propriétaire d'actifs de stationnement comprennent un service amélioré pour les clients, l'obtention de crédits LEED, la réduction d'émissions de carbone nocives, l'atténuation de la demande de transport, le gain de temps par le biais d'opérations de stationnement rationalisées, et des solutions écologiques à des problèmes de stationnement non résolus par des modèles de stationnement traditionnels.
